Dodgers Urged to Trade for $100 Million Twins All-Star

Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers may need to improve their outfield and could consider trading for Minnesota Twins player Byron Buxton. Buxton has a significant contract but might fit into the Dodgers' lineup if his current team continues to make trades. Despite Buxton's past injuries, the Dodgers have a strong enough roster to manage any risks.

Key Facts

  • The Dodgers are looking to improve production in their outfield.
  • They previously signed Michael Conforto, which did not work out as planned.
  • Byron Buxton, a center fielder for the Twins, is a trade candidate for the Dodgers.
  • Buxton's contract is worth $100 million over seven years.
  • Buxton has a no-trade clause but might reconsider if the Twins continue trading other star players.
  • He played the most games in a season since 2017 last year, though he has a history of injuries.
  • The Dodgers have roster depth, which helps them handle player injuries better than many teams.
